MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Both the prime minister and president of Israel are anticipating the historic trip of President Rodrigo Duterte to their country, which is expected to further bolster Philippine-Israeli ties, Israel\u2019s new ambassador to the Philippines said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe upcoming historic visit of President Duterte to Israel will enable both our countries to expand and strengthen our excellent relations to many more fields. President Reuven Rivlin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are looking forward to meeting President Duterte in Israel,\u201d Ambassador Rafael Harpaz said in a statement late Friday.<\/p>\n

Expected to be signed between the Philippines and Israel during the Chief Executive’s trip are a memorandum of agreement on the employment of Filipino caregivers; a memorandum of understanding on scientific cooperation; and a memorandum of understanding between the Board of Investments and Invest in Israel — a one-stop shop for potential investors.<\/p>\n

Harpaz said Philippine-Israeli relations stand on the “noble deed” of the Philippines through the late president Manuel Quezon\u2019s \u201cOpen Door policy\u201d that saved 1,300 Jewish people from the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael is eternally thankful to the gracious deed of the Philippines to save Jewish lives,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are also appreciative to the approximately 30,000 Filipinos who are working as caregivers to many Israelis in need.<\/p>\n

He also expressed appreciation to the thousands of Filipino professionals, who participate in development programs in Israel and in the Philippines through MASHAV, Israel\u2019s international agency for development cooperation.<\/p>\n

The envoy further noted the growing Philippine-Israeli ties on education, with more than 600 Filipino students from 29 state universities and colleges participating in the 11-month internship in modern agriculture in Israel every year.<\/p>\n

Harpaz arrived in the Philippines last August 26. Prior to his designation as Israel\u2019s ambassador to the Philippines, he had served as director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs\u2019 Central Asia and Caucasus Department since December 2015.<\/p>\n

He also served as Israel\u2019s ambassador to Azerbaijan (2012-2015), director of the Public Affairs Department at the Embassy of Israel in Washington DC (2005-2009), deputy chief of mission at the Embassy of Israel in Stockholm, Sweden (1999-2003), Bern, Switzerland (1993-1997), and Abidjan, Ivory Coast (1991-1993).<\/p>\n
